How much of your income do you have invested in the US stock market?

That's what we did.
same. I always have some cash on the side for down markets.
this is a repeat of April-2025, "tariff fears", though I wish he'd waited until after market close as I had a sell deal I had to stop and put on hold. not a big deal unless I didn't stop it in time.
for those not familiar with the market, they move fast on emotions and statements long before any logic or reason is applied to the situation. It's why they have bubbles that will eventually burst; that's why we have large drops or increases in a single day which may linger awhile.
market emotional moves are like demoncrats - they just act based on emotions without any logic, thought or facts; market fundamentals are facts, logic and reason that can be used to assess any market changes for rational decisions much like conservatives who don't act on emotions without thinking.
There will be tough public statements from the US and China; anti-Trump talking heads will use this to sow FUD and useless noise, pro-Trump talking heads will do the opposite yet create their own noise...meanwhile, some of us will find opportunities and take advantage of them.
In the end, after all the rhetoric and posturing, a compromise deal that saves face for the US and China will be made, and the markets will slowly rise again. Could take a several weeks or a few months.

100%
This is no more than a repeat of earlier this year with people crapping themselves over tariffs. Even with this recent drop I'm still up for the year by a decent amount. If you're playing the longer game one bad day amounts to a big nothing burger. And while stuff is down it's a good time to buy.

agreed. having an exit plan is also good, as is having cash set aside, not only to buy in down markets but also to avoid "forced" selling in a down market.
Another thing I've done to "hedge" down markets is to have dividend income generating investments that cover more than I need; that extra goes into cash or reinvestment; and in a down market the dividend income is also likely to be lower or, rarely, skipped...as most dividend stocks look for consistency, e.g., ATT has paid dividends for over 40 consecutive years (160 consecutive quarters), so having the extra cash becomes essential to avoid forced selling in a down market.

Probably best that you keep doing what you are doing and not enter these markets. Too risky.

IMO all the carnival barkers and all the same Woke and "centrist" folks are full of shit just as they have always been since the fake WokeMerican Recession of April 2025...... These people literally live on another planet or an alternate universe/America.
Fundamentally the economy and the markets have never been stronger and when you look at the fundamentals vs the WokeMericans crying wolf as they have every day since President Trump stepped into office..... Blowing things out of proportion and trying to feed fear into the market.......
The Fed is also set on cutting interest rates any time now and that combined with record foreign investments/money pouring into the country and the Big Beautiful Bill right around the corner combined with a fundamentally strong economy...... You have the makings and a catalyst for DOW 50,000+ baby
I put my money on the fundamentals of the economy, a strong economy, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent and President Trump vs those who have been crying wolf for months since the fake Recession of April 2025...... But thats me

agreed. As I said, a good portion of the markets are emotional, and make dramatic moves based on emotions. These are the people that usually lose in the market, and provide opportunities for the rest of us who use the fundamentals to find bargains thanks to the emotional mood swingers.
so many of our resident libtards are so consistently confidently wrong about everything it's amazing they survive....must be dumbluck, inheritance or government assistance?
Especially those here that claim to run a business and employ others...how can they be wrong about nearly everything in markets, politics, society, etc., and still have a business that survives? Idiot savants? Maybe partners or team that actually keep the business working inspite of these libtards.

market is already halfway back to where it was last Friday before the drop
as expected, after the irrational emotion crowd did it's damage. The recovery is faster than I expected, as it usually takes several days or weeks; we're on track for a couple days to fully recover from last Friday unless we have another irrational emotional meltdown.

As I've been saying Bessent and President Trump are taking us to the promise land...... DOW 50,000 baby
Especially when I read about why the market went down...... Really couldn't explain it any other way other than libtards and WokeMericans just feeding fake news and fear into an otherwise strong, robust and fundamentally vigorous economy/market

I agree. But the irrational emotion impacts provide us with buying opportunities.
As I mentioned, I had large sale deal ready to go last Friday, and had to cancel it because of the market drop. A minor setback that provided new buying opportunities.
Being in the market means to be prepared to take advantage of the market in real time; big drop = buy bargains; big rise = sell opportunity. Not that difficult to see, but getting into the position to exploit ups and downs does take effort, risk, and planning.
Cheers!

The stock market does not measure broader economic healthFor one, the stock market doesn't tell us anything about jobs and wages. There are times when broad-based economic strength pushes up jobs, wages, and the stock market, and other times when broad-based weakness causes these all to fall together.Mar 26, 2025

You do realize this thread is about the stock market, right?
Even when you actually have a coherent thought, you still add no value to the conversation.
